“It took a while, but it finally happened: Instagram now has a convenient way of uploading pictures from any iPhone app, including the default Photos application,” Chris Smith reports for BGR. “That’s a feature fans have craved for almost two years, ever since Apple released iOS 8.”

MacDailyNews Note: To turn it on, go to a photo in, say, Apple’s Photos app and tap the share button, scroll to the right (past Message, Mail, etc.) until you get to the end and can tap “More.” In the “Activities” menu that pops up, scroll to Instagram and turn it on. That’s it! Everywhere you can share an image, Instagram will be a choice. And, yes, it works the same on your iPad and/or iPod touch, too!

Strange that the function is limited to only Instagram if you can turn it on and off.. Why not also offer Facebook and tumbler at the same time at least.
The option is available for both of those, as well as many, many others. They only populate the list if you have the app installed & turn it on
Excellent.. One step closer to having a filesharing environment within iOS.
